Diversity and Outreach

The Graduate Division advocates and works for diversity—in all the varied senses of the word—and recognizes that the inclusion of students with a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives improves both the practice of science and the educational experience for everyone in our programs.

Other Campus Efforts
One of the strongest student/postdoc-led groups on campus is the UCSF chapter of the national organization SACNAS, whose members actively work to increase the participation of underrepresented minorities in science. The Graduate Division encourages students and postdocs who are interested in diversity issues and/or who are seeking to build a greater sense of community for all at UCSF to reach out to this group or attend one of their events. Visit the UCSF SACNAS website for more information or follow these directions to sign up for their listserv.
